Judicial deference and its potential effect on agency science and natural resource management

Creator:: Grisa, Amanda Marie Schenk
Abstract:: The USDA Forest Services' actions have come under greater scrutiny by a public that has become increasingly concerned with the legality of their actions. Often, challenges involve the quality of science used in the decision-making. Congress has mandated that the agency use the "best available science" in its decision making...

The Effect of Canopy Cover and Wildfire Smoke on Near-Surface Temperatures

Creator:: Brackett, Amanda
Abstract:: Recent shifts from clearcutting to partial retention harvesting on many ownerships and the importance of microclimate dynamics on biotic responses to regional climate highlight the need to understand how microclimate conditions in forest understories differ across gradients of partial overstories. This study compares below-canopy near-surface temperatures at 2cm above ground...

Effects of Secondary Salinization on Three Coastal Breeding Amphibians in Oregon: Taricha granulosa, Hyliola regilla, and Rana aurora

Creator:: Goddard, Amanda L.
Abstract:: Due to threats of secondary salinization caused by increased saltwater intrusion upstream associated with climate change, this thesis examines how salinity affects the development and oviposition site selection habits of three Oregon coastal breeding amphibians, the Roughskin Newt (Taricha granulosa), the Northern Red-legged Frog (Rana aurora) and the Pacific Treefrog...

Seasonal dynamics of a riparian food web in the Oregon Coast Range mountains

Creator:: Robillard, Amanda Lynn
Abstract:: Riparian areas are eco-tones where aquatically- and terrestrially-derived insect biomass is exchanged between habitats, presenting consumers with new sources of energy, and resulting in a reciprocal subsidy. The relative contribution of energy exchange and the resulting impacts on vertebrate riparian consumers, such as fish or birds, remains poorly understood. We...

The ChildsPlay Approach: Evaluating an Experimental Approach for Teaching Introductory CS at University

Creator:: Nelson, Aiden J.
Abstract:: University students first learning about computer science (CS) can be intimidated and frustrated by programming. In addition, the general-purpose programming languages chosen for introducing students to programming contain several features that have the potential to overwhelm and distract them from focused curriculum topics, which can lead to reduced retention of...

Democratizing the Data Stream: Creating an Equitable Transfer of Research Vessel Data from Scientist to Student

Creator:: Nolan, Hannah L.
Abstract:: With the emergence of big data and the Open Data Movement, and the wide availability to the public of large databases, Data Literacy is a necessary learning goal for students. Understanding the data process in its entirety is now a vital skillset required across industry, government, and scientific disciplines. The...

HJA Day experiences : understanding participant outcomes at a non-formal science education event

Creator:: Remenick, Lauren
Abstract:: For adult learners to succeed in their educational endeavors, adult educators and event planners must meet their needs and goals (Storksdieck, Ellenbogen, & Heimlich, 2005). The learning environment affects how adults learn and what outcomes they achieve (e.g., Hamilton & Tee, 2010; Knowles, 1990; Lim, Morris, & Kupritz, 2007; Young,...

Responses of a threatened cutthroat trout to an introduced, invading salmonid : ecological implications for growth, stress, and behavior

Creator:: Osborne-Gowey, Jeremiah D.
Abstract:: Recent studies suggest that competition from brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis; EBT) may have negative effects (e.g. displacement) on Lahontan cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki henshawi; LCT). Results from these studies have failed to elucidate the responsible mechanisms and have not examined if changing environmental conditions result in competitive/subordinate role reversals. The...

Examining physical activity and gross motor skills in children with developmental disabilities

Creator:: Cook, Nicole M.
Abstract:: Many children with developmental disabilities are not engaging in the recommended amount of daily physical activity (Pan, 2008; Shields, Dodd, & Abblitt, 2009; Whitt-Glover et al., 2006), which can lead to additional health disparities and decreased quality of life for children in this population (Field & Jette, 2007). The relationship...

Impacts of Reduced Tillage and Disturbance on Soil Health and Microbial Community Dynamics in Grass Seed Cropping Systems

Creator:: Zamora, Cesar G.
Abstract:: In Oregon perennial and annual grass seed cropping systems conservation management practices and their impacts on soil health and soil microbial community is not well understood. There is strong motivation to employ conservation tillage and other conservation practices to curb atmospheric carbon levels and improve soil health. However, the few...
